Ricordea mushrooms belong to the family Ricordiidae and are popular for their vibrant colors and ease of care. They are a type of coral that thrives in a variety of lighting conditions, making them suitable for many reef aquariums. Ricordea are known for their distinctive, bubbly appearance and come in a range of colors, including green, blue, orange, and purple. They can reproduce by budding, which makes them a rewarding choice for aquarists looking to propagate their own corals. These corals have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, which provide them with nutrients through photosynthesis.
